Hi,

I have a Dell ST2210b, and recently I had some flickering problems with it, but since they were intermittent, I didn't bother looking to fix it.

A couple of days ago, the back-lighting has gone off, I thought the Lamps were out, but the thing is when I power up the monitor, the back-lighthing works for a second then goes off again, and it happens every-time it's powered up or the source is changed.

I'm really confused here, since this doesn't seem like either a capacitor or lamp problem.

I'd really like if someone can help me here, because I need to know If it can be repaired.
If not, I'd welcome any suggestion for a new monitor that has the same specs.
